Explanation

Option C is correct Viruses can only reproduce inside cells, but not necessarily animal cells. Some viruses can only infect plant cells, while others can infect bacterial cells. Viruses are obligate intracellular parasites ,meaning that they can only survive and reproduce inside of a living cell. They are not considered to be living organisms because they do not have all the characteristics of living things, such as the ability to reproduce on their own. Viruses cannot survive and reproduce inside non-living cells. Viruses are not alive, and they need a living cell to replicate. When a virus infects a cell, it injects its genetic material into the cell. The cell's machinery then uses the genetic material to produce new copies of the virus. These new copies of the virus can then infect other cells, and the cycle continues.
